Quick Glance: Federal Charges for Threatening Election Workers
  • The Justice Department reported that approximately 20 individuals have been charged for threatening election officials during the 2020 and 2022 elections, with over half a dozen receiving sentences ranging from one to 3 ½ years.

  • Investigators must assess reported threats to determine if they escalate from free speech to actual violent or death threats, considering the reason behind the threat and its impact on the recipient.

  • Threats commonly arise during election periods, often fueled by denial of election results, leading to severe consequences for election workers, their families, and colleagues.

  • Judge Steven P. Logan emphasized that violent threats pose a significant risk to American institutions and employees, constituting a direct assault on the rule of law.
